Question 1

Insolation

Answer 1

Depends on latitude 
Specific characteristics of spheres 
Scattered by collisions 
Earth soul be cooler around -20 degrees 
Water main contributed to natural greenhouse effect

Question 2

Scattered insolation

Answer 2

Some returns to space
Some absorbed by the atmosphere
Some makes it to earths surface

Question 3

Main contributed to greenhouse effect

Answer 3

Water vapour much in atmosphere

Question 4

Net radiation budget

Answer 4

342 per year
31% immediately reflected back into space by clouds atmosphere and land shffCd
30% absorbed by tnsobere
Lost
Cloud tops
Cider regions
Atmosphere emits it up and down
Almost all is absorbed by sphere and emotes as infrared radiation
Less than one percent into chemical energy by photosynthesis
Latent heat

Question 5

Albedo

Answer 5

Water 10%
Snow 90%
World 30%
Varies with seasons

Question 6

Radiation

Answer 6

Radiant energy encounters particle, reflected or absorbed
Absorbed particles more movement
Areas of higher temp emit unrated radiation

Question 7

Convection

Answer 7

Usually in fluids substances with no definite shape
Density less dense rise to top cools and downward
Water has higher heat capacity
Regions next to water more moderate weather

Question 8

Atmosphere thermal energy

Answer 8

High temp near equator less dense air rises near pools cools nd falls
If earth nit soinning there would be continuous convection current between pole and equatorial region

Question 9

Coriolanus effect

Answer 9

Difference in net radiation budget causes air to move directly north and south
Winds deflected right or left
Right north
Left south

Question 10

Global wind patterns

Answer 10

Transfer energy from surplus to deficit regions

Caused by unequal heating in earths atmosphere

Question 11

Trade winds

Answer 11

Coriolanus effect makes them to west

Higher attitude winds flow to poles due to warm rising air currents near Equator

Question 12

Westerly winds

Answer 12

South and north
30 degrees north and south
Some warm air cooled enough to sink and move west toward equator
Rest of warm air moves towards poles and is moved west causes cold air to rush in and move eastwestetliers move easy

Question 13

Polar easterlies

Answer 13

Near poles

Sinking cold air that are pushes western

Question 14

Doldrums

Answer 14

Region of very low winds in a band about the equator

Center best nirtheast trade winds

Question 15

Jet streams

Answer 15

Very high altitude
Not subject to friction faster than winds close to earth
Surface and density if troposphere slows global winds
Earth HD sevt 2-3 in north and south hemisphere
Convection currents form them
Speed location vary with amount of thermal energy
Cooler months faster and closer to equator

Question 16

Jet stream effects

Answer 16

Changes affect formation if qualms storms cyclones
Ones in poles can affect movement of air in lower levels of atmosphere
Very important to predicting weather changes

Question 17

Hydrological cycle

Steps

Answer 17

Snow melts solod to liquid
Runs to oceans transpiration from plants
Precipitation returns
Evaporates liquid to vapour

Question 18

Hydro lid cycle thermal energy

Answer 18

When water changes stages thermal energy releases or absorbed
Liquid to solid released
Liquid to gas absorbed
Energy transferred without changes in temperature
Earth temp relatively stable

Question 19

Thermal energy transfer in oceans

Answer 19

Ocean currents main pathways for the transfer of thermal energy from warmer to cooler
Global winds blo to drive surface currents
Warmer are driven by trade winds 30 south and north westerly
Easterly in poles warm water to pole in mid latitudes
Cold water south in higher latitudes

Question 20

Ocean current Coriolanus effect

Answer 20

North veeet right
South veer left
Change direction when encounter a land mass
Transferred vertically in convection currents
